This book totally changed my way of thinking as a psychologist in training

[Adrienna]

I learned about Dr. Wade Nobles through an online meeting on Friday, 3/26/26, with the Association of Black Psychologists (which he founded).

I should hopefully get my order on Monday, 3/30/26, to read and learn about this organization and its findings on African Psychology.

Thought & Spirit provoking. A call to "deconstruct Western psychology" and "Pierce its veil of universalism, objectivity, and relevance."

This is dense. It requires a lot of pauses, more research and reflections. All of which are worth it! Get pencil, notebook, page markers on deck!
